4 2 Installation Instructions provided in this section describe the hardware installation of the WorldTracker AVL device. To install the WorldTracker AVL in a vehicle, follow these steps: Choose a convenient location in the vehicle either in the trunk or interior of a vehicle. Avoid locations that might expose the device to excessive heat or moisture. Hold the WorldTracker AVL in place and mark the location for mounting screw holes Using the markings as a guide, drill mounting holes in those positions Align the WorldTracker AVL in the drilled holes and secure it with mounting screws The WorldTracker AVL is NOT a waterproof or sealed device. Care must be taken to ensure the device is kept away from water or any other liquids. 2.1 Mounting Dimensions

5 The bracket should be used as a template to mark screw holes for installation. See Figure 4 - WorldTracker AVL Mounting Brackets. The mounting holes are designed for a number 10 screw. Once mounting holes have been located for placement, the mounting plate can be easily broken into two parts as demonstrated in Figure 5 - WorldTracker AVL Mounting Bracket (separated). The mounting bracket must be separated in order to affix it to the WorldTracker AVL. The two pieces will easily slide into the grooves on the modem. 2.2 Installing Cables During installation, the following precautions will help ensure proper operation of the WorldTracker AVL Remove power from the WorldTracker AVL. Do not create loops, sharp bends or crimps in the cables All cables should be attached to the vehicle and equipment in such a way to reduce stress or wear caused by vibration generated by moving vehicles. Use proper terminations on all power cables pin Connector The user can purchase the optional 12-pin external I/O connector for the Security Concepts WorldTracker AVL that can be used to interface with other devices. Security Concepts can provide an optional cable and connector. The user also has the option of building his/her own cable. Table 1 describes the pin functionality for this 12 pin I/O connector. Pins that are not planned for usage can be left open without anything connected to them.

6 2.2.2 WorldTracker AVL Serial Adapter (Optional) Security Concepts P/N can be used to provide a standard serial interface for the WorldTracker AVL. This adapter provides a standard DB9 serial interface and power to the unit. The adapter would be used for loading new software onto the WorldTracker AVL. The customer may choose to connect directly to the 12-pin connector serial interface pins, or order this convenient adapter from Security Concepts. Note: Only three of the pins are used; ground, serial in and serial out. See Figure 9-12-Pin Connection. Figure 9-12-Pin Connection Pin Number One

7 The customer can also build their own cable, if they choose. The following information contains photographs and the manufacturer s (AMP/Tyco) part numbers for the parts needed to build the cable. Security Concepts recommends using 20-gauge wire when building the connector. Pin Housing ( ) Pins (8523-6) NOTE: Instead of using the previous two parts, you can build the cable using the Wago connector. This connector is keyed, so the user won t be able to insert the connector into the WorldTracker AVL the wrong way.

8 DB-9 Pinout There are three pins that are used to connect to the serial port of your computer. These are for transmit (out), receive (in) and ground. The following diagram displays the serial end of the interface cable. Pin 12 on the WorldTracker AVL Pin 1 on the WorldTracker AVL Pin 2 on the Worldtracker AVL

9 2.3 Installing Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Card The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is a smart card that is programmed with subscriber information. The user information consists of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number which is registered with the GSM/GPRS service provider and an encryption Ki (pronounced key ). This information consists of a microprocessor and memory installed on a plastic card. A SIM card can be installed by simply inserting the SIM card in the SIM slot provided in the front of the device. See Figure 10 - Inserting a SIM below. Note:! The SIM card is not provided with the WorldTracker AVL device. The SIM must be obtained from the GSM/GPRS service provider and must be provisioned by the operator for data and/or voice. Always take care to protect the SIM. WorldTracker AVL s GSM/GPRS related functionality will not operate without the SIM installed. Ensure the power to the WorldTracker AVL is disconnected before inserting the SIM card. Failure to do so might result in unusable WorldTracker AVL or a damaged SIM card. Figure 10 - Inserting a SIM Insert the SIM into the SIM Slot with the notch going into the slot first, and facing toward the left side of the modem.

11 2.5 Connecting GSM/GPRS modem Antenna The user must supply the GSM/GPRS antenna. The antenna must have a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The VSWR must be less than 2.0:1. System antenna gain should be 0 2 db for optimum performance. The antenna connector on the GSM/GPRS WorldTracker AVL model is a TNC female connector. The antenna has to be connected to the connector labeled MODEM ANT. See Figure 11 - GSM/GPRS Antenna Connection. GSM/GPRS Antenna Figure 11 - GSM/GPRS Antenna Connection

12 2.6 Connecting GPS Antenna The user must supply the GPS antenna. The GPS receiver inside the WorldTracker AVL powers the pre-amplifier in the GPS antenna (Active-style) by applying a power of 3.3 Volts to the center conductor of the RF input to the GPS receiver. If a passive-style GPS antenna must be used, please verify that it has a DC block installed in order to prevent shorting to ground. GPS antenna connector on the WorldTracker AVL model is a SMA female connector. The GPS antenna must be placed in an area where it can have direct view of the sky. The GPS antenna must be connected to the connector labeled GPS ANT. See Figure 12 - GPS Antenna Connection.! User must disconnect power before connecting the GPS antenna GPS Antenna Figure 12 - GPS Antenna Connection

This feature has to be enabled via the software configuration (see AT$PWRSAV command for more details). o Device enters normal power consumption mode when auxiliary power is supplied. o Device goes through a reset upon ignition on. 2.8 LED Operation The WorldTracker AVL has three LED s on its front panel. PWR: User LED 1: User LED 2: Indicates power to the modem. LED is on when power is turned on and the modem is operational. LED is off when power is removed or when the modem enters low power mode. This LED can be configured to display registration; GPS fix status, or other user functions. By default, this LED indicates GSM/GPRS registration status. LED state of OFF indicates that the device is not attempting to register to the network. Blinking LED indicates that the device is trying to connect to the network. LED always ON indicates that the device is attached to the network. This LED can be configured to display registration; GPS fix status, or other user functions. By default, this LED indicates GPS fix status. The LED remains in OFF state when invalid GPS data is received. The LED remains ON when valid GPS data is received.

15 3 Additional Software Features The following software features are included in version and greater: A user can send AT commands, via SMS, to the MTG in the following format: >RSP=[T/F];ID=[modem id];[at command]< ƒ ƒ ƒ [T/F] field has to be set to either T or F. Setting of T indicates that the response to an AT command will be sent back to the originator. Setting of F indicates that the response to an AT command will be discarded [modem id] field has to be the same value as AT$MDMID command setting. This field is case-sensitive [at command] field has to be set to an AT command from the below list: AT$ACKTM AT$ACTIVE AT$APIPWD AT$AREG AT$CONNTO AT$EVDEL AT$EVDELA AT$EVENT AT$EVTIM AT $FRIEND AT$GPSRD AT$IDLETO AT$MDMID AT$MSGLOGEN AT$MSGLOGRD AT$MSGSND AT$PADBLK AT$PADBS AT$PADDST AT$PADSRC AT$PADTO AT$PKG AT$SMSDA AT$UDPAPI AT$WAKEUP AT+CGDCONT AT&W Note: Please refer to the MT-G AT Command Set Document (GSM2000PB001MAN) for detailed information on AT Command execution. Please note the following information regarding sending AT commands via SMS: AT commands sent via SMS have to originate from an address listed in the AT$SMSDA command; An incorrectly formatted SMS message will be processed as a regular SMS message; Not having the originating address of the SMS message listed in AT$SMSDA command will result in the SMS message being treated as a regular SMS message; Query of an AT command setting that returns more than 160 bytes will result in data being truncated to a maximum of 160 bytes.

16 The ability to store event data in memory, upon event trigger occurrence, and transmit data when desired. The user can configure the WorldTracker AVL to store event-generated data, to be sent over the air to a remote server, in its internal memory. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the AT$MSGLOGEN command. Total Number of Unread Messages is decremented if an unread message is read via the AT$MSGLOGRD command. Example: Assume there are 50 unread messages in the GPRS queue and the total number of messages in GPRS queue is 100. This means that the first 50 messages have been read while the last 50 messages have not been read. If a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,51 then the total number of unread messages drops down to 49 after successful transmission of that message. However, if a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,99 then the total number of unread messages still remains at 50 that message is transmitted to the remote server. A user can also read a message that has already been read from the memory by passing in the appropriate starting index number. Synchronize RTC time with GPS time RTC time is synched with GPS time automatically RTC time is synched with GPS time every time the device is powered up and the device acquires valid GPS data RTC time is synched with GPS time every time the GPS time rolls over from 23:59:59 to 00:00:01 Allow a user to append RTC date and time at the end of event data Bit-21 for Parm2, for output message types & 45 (in AT$EVENT command), has been added to allow users to send RTC time along with event data The RTC date and time contains Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second fields 6 bytes of information is appended in Binary format when bit-21 is enabled. Each byte represents an individual field 12 ASCII character (12-bytes) representing RTC date and time is appended in ASCII format when bit-21 is enabled. Two bytes (or two ASCII characters) represents an individual field
